Hold Me Until Forever

I’m so excited to be at Just Contemporary
Romance today, to share an exclusive excerpt of my latest release, Hold Me
Until Forever, the third of my Grayson Brothers books. This is the eldest
brother Alex’s story, and I love this bad boy so much J

HOLD ME UNTIL FOREVER

She’s the
only one he wants…and the one he can never have

Ella Clark has been
in love with Alex Grayson forever. She’s tired of being invisible—or worse,
being treated like his kid sister. If she can just get him to drop his
iron-fisted control for two seconds, she’ll prove she knows exactly how to blow
his mind.

Alex has been
fighting his attraction to Ella since her should-have-been-innocent sweet
sixteen kiss burned down his world. He’s damaged, and there’s no way he’ll ever
drag her into his screwed up life. Until she offers him something he’s always
craved—steamy, no-strings sex inside his exclusive BDSM club. Where she’ll be
safe from the darkness that haunts him.

Except there’s
nothing safe about being with Ella, and the more she gives, the harder it is to
let her go. If he stays, he risks everything, but how can he walk away from the
only woman he’s ever needed?

Ella stared up at him, her lips parted in a soundless breath. She was so
damn sexy it hurt. She was tough, but right now she gave off an irresistibly
vulnerable vibe that pushed all his hot buttons.

“Okay.”

She sounded all soft and submissive, willing to put her body in his
hands for the night. He swallowed a groan. Does she really know what she’s
agreeing to?

“Are you sure?” He pulled her close so there was no chance of them being
overheard. “Once I get you alone, you’re mine until I let you go.”

She didn’t pull back. “That’s why I’m here.” She trailed her fingers
along his jaw. She’d never touched him like that before. Not in eight years.
“I don’t want you to let me go.”

That’s what I’m afraid of. That once he had her, it wouldn’t be enough. That he wouldn’t be able
to set her free.

For fuck’s sake, focus.
He wasn’t thinking about forever. He wasn’t even thinking about next week.
Tonight was all they had for sure.

“There’s something you need to understand.” He cradled her face. Her
skin was so soft. “I won’t make you do anything you’re not comfortable with.
But if you walk through the door with me, you agree to play by my rules.”

“I can handle that.”

“I haven’t told you what they are yet.”

She pressed her hand against his chest. “You want me to sign a contract
or something?”

“Tempting.” But they didn’t need a contract for this. It was only going
to be casual, and kept strictly inside Excalibur.

Keep telling yourself that. It didn’t matter what way he looked at it. Even if this lasted only one
night, it was always going to be more than just a casual hookup when it came to
Ella.

And that was the danger.
